Hello all! I’m 42 w. Baby #5

Stephanie

Hi all,

I’m 42 but will be 43 by the time I’ll have this angel (7 weeks tomorrow). Baby is due April 18th and was conceived through IVF. I have 4 kiddos ages 21,18,15 and 3 almost 4. I don’t know why I didn’t feel this way at 38 when I was pregnant with my 4th but man now I am just a complete mess. I am feeling things I didn’t feel with any of my other pregnancies like cramping (lots of it but luckily no bleeding) and anxiety is off the charts. I don’t like feeling like this. It scared me. Maybe because this baby was our last frozen embryo? Maybe because my fertility doctor said of this baby doesn’t stick then it’s game over? Maybe because I’m 42? So many feelings. I have my first ultrasound on 9/5 which is only 6 days away but I’m going crazy for sure. I just want to see my little nugget and make sure there is a heartbeat and that everything is looking good.
